FROM ROSES TO RASPBERRIES...

The team they are cheering

with accents endearing,

Whose pathway is strewn

with roses so red,

May boot one tomorrow

and learn to its sorrow

That raspberries grown

When roses are dead.

So a word of advice

To you, Beaver star:

From roses to raspberries

Ain't very far!

LAW OF THE JUNGLE

by Rudyard Kipling

NOW THIS IS THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE--

AS OLD AND AS TRUE AS THE SKY;

AND THE WOLF THAT KEEP IT MAY PROSPER,

BUT THE WOLF THAT SHALL BREAK IT MUST DIE.

AS THE CREEPER THAT GIRDLES THE TREE TRUNK

THE LAW RUNNETH FORWARD AND BACK--

AND THE STRENGTH OF THE PACK IS THE WOLF;

AND THE STRENGTH OF THE WOLF IS THE PACK.

Buddy was a small boy who was very wise and very clever for his age.What he lacked in physical stature, he made up for in his ability to think on his feet.

As he was eating his lunch in the school yard on day, three big bullies swaggered up to him and demanded he hand over his food.The small boy hesitated and slowly stood up.

"Maybe you're hard of hearing," growled the largest of the three."We said to hand over your lunch!"

The little guy backed up dramatically, then he drew a line in the dirt with the toe of his hoe.He looked the leader of the group right in the eye and said, "Now, you just step across that line."

The bully didn't hesitate for one moment at the challenge.He stomped defiantly across the line and barked, "I'm across, now what are you going to do about it?"

Smiling, the little guy looked the big bully right i the eye and said, "There, now we're on the same side!"
